I have a Sony Bravia 52" LCD HD TV. The lines and some distortion (mostly on right half of picture) started about 2 months ago. The problems would go away after about 5 -10 minutes initially and now lingers for 30 minutes or more from when you turn the TV on. The TV is only 2 years old. Just want to know if anyone else has experienced the same issue and if there are any solutions that won't cost me mega bucks.
Yes this thing start happening to my tv too about 4weeks ago and this goes away in about 15 minutes. TV is only 18 month old and I donot have extende warranty. Please post the solution if someone has got it repaired. Thanks
I have the same problem with horizontal lines on my 3 year old 40" Sony Bravia LCD. After 10 minutes the unit heats up and the lines are gone, but it's been getting worse.
If enough people publicize the problem online Sony might decide to repair these defective units, otherwise we're faced with hundreds of dollars in repair costs or junking the televisions!
We have the same problems on our 52" LCD. Left side of screen is very dark and the video is distorted on that part of the screen, There are 3 fine horizontal lines that pretty evenly divide the screen. After 10 or 15 minutes the problem resolves itself, but it seems to be getting worse. We bought an extended warranty from Circuit City but it's gone out of business,
I had this same problem, I went through the picture settings and reset the tv, this worked for me.

Similar problems on our Sony kdl-52z5100. Darkness flipping around what seems to be quadrants as well as horizontal lines everywhere. After it warms up everything is great, except for a sizable dark line that slowly fades away from left to right. Sony has extended the warranty until March 31, 2014. Model kdl52xbr9 is also affected. This is for model year 2009, and this info was posted by Sony on 6/29/2012. Goto Sony's e support site and look up your model to get the info, even if I didn't mention your model, because Sony like to do stuff like this, and you may have a TV that could burn down your house.
We have the same problem with ours, too, only it's on the left side of the screen. We called Sony (no extended warranty and the tv is now 3 years old) and Sony tells us to call a repair shop. $300 later and they have NO clue what's wrong with our tv. To Fatslob7, PLEASE post the results of your warranty fix as soon as you get it.
Ditto...same issue...we tried replacing the LCD controller board...but didn't fix...my guess is something on the main video output board...(the board between the LCD conrtoller board and the AV/ board
I am experiencing the same problem with the lines, but on the left hand side and it goes away after 15 minutes. The TV is less than two years old, but luckily I purchased an extended warranty and called it in to Sony. I'll report back once the TV has been looked at and serviced.
